US 2014/0211069 A1 · IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING METHOD, AND A NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

Abstract

An imaging device comprising: a camera mount; an imaging element; an optical finder capable of observing an optical image of an object which goes through an optical system different from the interchangeable lens; an electronic viewfinder capable of superimposing and displaying a taken image based on the image signal and the optical image; a lens information acquiring unit for communicating with the interchangeable lens mounted on the camera mount and acquiring information concerning the interchangeable lens; a communication determination unit configured to determine whether or not the interchangeable lens is communicable with the lens information acquiring unit; and a first display control unit for causing the electronic viewfinder to superimpose and display the taken image and the optical image if the communication determination unit determines that the interchangeable lens is not communicable with the lens information acquiring unit.

An imaging device comprising:

a camera mount on which an interchangeable lens is mounted;
an imaging element configured to generate an image signal corresponding to an object light passed through the interchangeable lens;
an optical finder capable of observing an optical image of an object which goes through an optical system different from the interchangeable lens;
an electronic viewfinder capable of superimposing and displaying a taken image based on the image signal and the optical image;
a lens information acquiring unit for communicating with the interchangeable lens mounted on the camera mount and acquiring information concerning the interchangeable lens;
a communication determination unit configured to determine whether or not the interchangeable lens is communicable with the lens information acquiring unit;
and
a first display control unit for causing the electronic viewfinder to superimpose and display the taken image and the optical image if the communication determination unit determines that the interchangeable lens is not communicable with the lens information acquiring unit.
